What is an LCD TV?

People are spending more time at home in an effort to save money and avoid unnecessary and unfashionable extravagant spending. Maybe as you consider your home entertainment centre for the first time in years, you realise how dated your home theatre system has become. With the advent of digital TV and HD, or high definition TV, there has been more emphasis on picture quality. An LCD TV differs from a traditional TV or a plasma TV in that it has a screen composed of two sheets of glass packed with liquid crystal filled cells. The cells twist and untwist to filter the white light from the lamp and create the colours. Because there are so many cells, this new type of TV has more pixels per square inch than others and so is the perfect medium for gamers or for computer use.

Additionally if you also want a TV for computer use, you need a screen that doesn't suffer from screen burn when the picture is stationary for a long time. This is also where an LCD TV is the perfect solution. At www.home-entertainment.toshiba.co.uk/en/Regza-LCD-TV/ you can view many different sizes and appreciate just how slim your new set will be. A big screen no longer translates to a big TV set. As a result you have greater flexibility in where you place it. If you are concerned that your new TV will guzzle electricity, rest assured that these models also consume less electricity than their plasma counterparts.
